wittle wagnawos is cute and all, but having new skin tones would breathe life into this forgotten hero
blood of sargeras ragnaros
deep-sea ragnaros
leylight rag
honestly seeing new skin tones would be better than a new red/orange skin but id be happy with either at this point
It’s not likely. It’s also not as simple as just recoloring him. It’s a colossal effort requiring the resources of 4-5 normal heroes.
See also post above by heroes designer Nathan Lamusga why they are reluctant to make non-fire themed skins for Ragnaros.
(Other dev comments below)
They did mention they “want” to do one quite a while back. That post by Andrew Kinabrew (an animator for HotS) was about two years ago.
I think a lot of other heroes would want to say the same not just Rag.
probius literally has no skins at all lol.
and new skins for artanis when?
If the regular Rag model is difficult to work with, the right approach IMO would be to create a new one that doesn’t have so many effects going on, like a robot/mecha without the twirling lava and flames, just the glowing when using Q. Easier said than done, and they’d still need a giant version for the trait.
I genuinely want to know what the hell they initially did with Rag that makes it so hard to add a recolour to the solid parts at the ver least, just something that makes the gold looking parts of his armour pitch black or purple, it osen’t have to be pleasing just so it dosne’t blend in with god damn Living BOmb so well.
Well at least we have Li’ Ragnaros I suppose. From reading what Shape posted, it looks unlikely we can even expect a recolor. I have always wanted a blue Ragnaros. 
Pink Ragnaros plz.

FRESH INSECT
He got one last year
Which is more than 85% of the roster.
Reminder that Medivh and Kel’Thuzad have also never received new skins, and they don’t have any excuse. Medivh’s had a handful of new tints, but I’m pretty sure KT has not.
A skin color shouldnt be that extreme. For example a water and ice based ragnaros skin should be double without requiring additional models. Stone would be changed to ice, and lava to water. And transparency doesnt have to be an issue on this either as ice can be colored in an opaque lightblue tone (glacier ice color), and the ice can be rough on its side making it even opaque IRL.
Even if it gets a 0.1 transparency, its just not going to be enough to see flaws in it, but it can reflect the ground color through it.
Sure, voice lines wouldnt match the skin, but i dont see that as a very big issue either (plenty of voice lines do not suit the skin on plenty of heroes).
This has already been suggested many times before because it just doesnt appear to be such a huge amount of work.
Having an entirely new skin however would obviously be better. But sometimes just adding a skin tone could do a bit.
Frost Lord Ragnaros.
and Love Lord Ragnaros!
Zerg Skin for Rag WHEN?
I’ve always wanted a green Ragnaros or like, a white/silver Ragnaros.
makes you wonder why it is so hard to make rag,
he is simply made up of several parts that just spin in circles.
his arms and head aren’t even attached and just float.
if they used some weirdly complicated method to make him
then i have no idea why, is it the animated textures that are causing issues?
he should be one of the simplest heroes in the game,
not the most complex!
also i’ll keep asking for Pastaros until it happens! XD
As far as I can understand, yes.
All the visual effects in his hero make him much harder to edit compared to most heroes.
LOL.
haha, just clicked link 10-15m after i wrote the first part of this post LMAO!
going to make image shown directly in forum:
i think i’ve posted him a little too much so i was just gonna leave the link, 
but yus, the world needs Pastaros the Spaghetti Lord! 
I think for Medhiv, it includes making new models/ animations for bird form, portal and maybe polymorph. So a bit more than most heroes.
You don’t have to do any of those things. It could just be a model change with no new animations. With Ragnaros, you have to make two.
